At 34 weeks pregnant, my baby was in the breech position

At 34 weeks pregnant, my baby was in the breech position.I came to Raeghan Siemens in desperation, unsure of what acupuncture and moxabustion was all about, I was willing to try anything to get the baby to turn. I was planning a home birth, and if the baby didn’t turn in time, I would be scheduled for a C-section. I felt overwhelmed and full of anxiety. Raeghan was warm, caring and professional. She throughly explained acupuncture and moxabustion, what to expect from this session, and how to do the moxa at home. I felt so relaxed during the treatment, the anxiety and stress melted away. I went home and had a great sleep for the first time in a long time. The next day, about 22 hours after I saw Raeghan, the felt a burp-like sensation and alot of movement from the baby. The midwife came by later that day and confirmed the baby was head down. I was able to have my home birth, and now have a wonderful new addition to our family. Thanks Raeghan. Sincerely, J.H.

I have been a certified dental assistant for the past 16 years. Over that time I have been interested in many of the healing arts. In 1993, I became a reflexologist and continued to study other forms of alternative health. My passion for Homeopathy began when I was treated by a homeopath in 1998. I really resonated with the philosophy and treatment of homeopathy. Only after a few consultations I knew I had to become involved and help heal others. With restored health and a great deal of energy, I am driven to study this wonderful healing art. I have successfully completed the first milestone in my homeopathic career by graduating from the Vancouver Homeopathic Academy. I hope to write my Certification of Classical Homeopathy in the next few years. I am a member of the West Coast Homeopathic Society and regularly attend study sessions to stay updated and educated. I also attend local trade shows and educate the public on Homeopathy. I am recently married and reside in Langley with two cats and a golden retriever named Montana. My animals are wonderful homeopathic patients.
